Warning do not read this book when hungry.
Beautiful layout with mouth watering photographs. This is must for people that like to see the finished product. Also some of photographs shows the procedure used with the croissant dough which is helpful.
I was amazed at the number of recipes in various categories that are contained in this book. Some are easy and others are a bit more complex but the detailed instructions will help you archive the result if you take your time to take it step by step.
One of the things I really liked about this book that unlike some cookbooks it does not repeat the same information over and over. If a certain recipe requires a specific filling or dough it doesn't add all that info to each recipe but names it with the page number to go to. Yes you will be flipping some pages but it is the more efficient way of doing the layout.

This cookbook is gorgeous, the recipes are approachable and the ingredients are not difficult to obtain.

This is one of those cookbooks destined to be used often, splattered with ingredients, dog-eared and well-loved!

I am buying the print copy the minute it's available!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for giving me this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

A beautifully presented and photographed cooking book. This is a substantial book on cakes, pastries, tarts, biscuits and everything in between. The recipes are well set out, with easy to obtain ingredients and easy to follow.
The recipes have been updated in some places to take in newer ingredients and tastes.
A great book

This is a great book on how to make "classic" recipes some recipes have the option of substituting the flour with einkorn flour so the wonderful pastry you are making is a little more healthy.

I found out I am gluten intolerant about a year ago and this cookbook does have about 10 or so gluten-free recipes that my fellow gluten-free people would love to make.

his cookbook is filled with delectable recipes and easy to understand instructions. Some take more effort than others, but all are absolutely fabulous! From biscotti to croissants and pies to Tartine's famous Morning Buns, there is something for everyone to savor and enjoy. I cannot wait for the cooler weather to kick in and get my bake on!

Whether you have a previous Tartine cookbook or not, this is a must have for any baker or want to be baker. It will make a great Christmas gift as well!

Tartine A Classic Revised by Elisabeth Prueitt and Chad Robertson from Chronicle Books
is everything I could ask for in a cookbook. The pictures are gorgeous and the recipes are inviting. Something important to me for a cookbook is the formatting of the recipes and the recipes in Tartine are formatted to be easily followed. This revised edition has 67 new recipe and 55 updated recipes including Einkorn Doughnuts, wow. There are several recipes using Einkorn flour and gluten-free recipes. I have the original book and will get a hardcopy of this beautiful, fun book. It's definetley a book anyone who loves to bake, or loves beautiful books will want to own. All cookbook collectors will want to get this amazing book.
I received an ARC from NetGalley and this is my unbaised review.

This collector of cookbooks was excited to have gotten this book. It has lovely pictures, you mouth will water when you look at them. Great recipes clearly explained and you want to make these in your weekend off. This book is inspiring and I can see myself making these pastries, breads and desserts.

This is a ARC from the publisher, which I got for a honest review.

Yummy recipes with good detailed instruction and mouthwatering photo’s. Those with experience making bread and doughs will find new challenges and those new to bread making will be guided into this addictive and healthier way of getting your daily bread and lots more. Those with a sweeter tooth will not be disappointed.

If only I could taste with my eyes! The photos are incredible and give a nudge to try these recipes with the hope of recreating what i just saw. These are classical recipes, described in such rich detail that they don't seem intimidating. For example, the recipe for the croissant dough - which for me is one of the most difficult to achieve pastries - is about 6 pages long. I liked the innovative variations on the croissant, such as a green matcha croissant. i also liked the mix of sweet and savory recipes

I am a collector of Cookbooks and I love beautiful books like this. You can spend hours just perusing the pictures contained between the pages of this work of art. But be forewarned, it may make you extremely hungry. A copy of Tartine's signature recipe the Morning Bun is worth the price of this book. Some of the recipes appear to be quit detailed, but once you read them over, take it step by step, you will be surprised what you can accomplish.
Tartine contains recipes for Breakfast muffins, scones, doughnuts, Quiche and Brioche. Their desserts are never ending including, cakes, cookies, pies, tarts, puddings, pastries and confections along with preserves and jams, If you purchase this book you will not need any other. This has it all.
I received a complementary copy of this beautiful book from Chronicle Books Publisher through NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Mouth watering: großartig in Szene gesetzt, kommen abwechslungsreiche Rezepte daher, die genauso lecker schmecken, wie sie auf den Fotos abgelichtet wurden. Der Käsekuchen ist ein Gedicht und die Granola steht fest auf dem Frühstücksplan.
Gespickt mit Tipps und alternativen Zutaten.

Absolutely gorgeous photography and book design. I don’t currently have an oven but I would happily spend my days in pastry school, if there
are any good ones, or alternatively in a cookbook bookstore. I vaguely do recall a great bakery in Point Reyes Station that was magic! thanks to Chronicle Books for this lovely gift when I needed it!

This cookbook is exceptional! It is rare to find a cookbook in which I want to make every single recipe! I enjoyed the beautifully detailed photographs and the unique recipes. It seems like each one had a fun and creative take on a classic. I would definitely recommend this to both new and experienced bakers!

I loved this book for its nice recipes. They were not complicated. I liked that. Different - yes. Tasty - tried couple and yes. Overall good book to own if you want to serve something different.
I just wish Kindle option would have been available instead.

As a baker, I am always eager to get my hands on new cookbooks, so I was super excited to get an ARC of Tartine through NetGalley. While I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, the photos are gorgeous. So gorgeous that I wish that I could reach through the page and help myself to a slice of Dutch Apple Pie. While I received a pdf of the book, this is a cookbook that I am going to need as a hard copy. Yum!

What a lovely and inspiring cookbook. Newly revised and expanded, unlike so many chef-y cookbooks, this book is full of recipes you'll want to bake. Yes, there are complex recipes, but most of the recipes are things a home cook could achieve easily.

I also loved that some of the recipes are gluten-free and some use less traditional flours.

I'm ready to start baking right now!

This Arc was courtesy of netgalley - the below thoughts and opinions are my own and unbiased

The book is well written, clear recipes and the most stunning photographs - I can see myself trying out lots of these recipes as they read and seem straightforward but give the most stunning of results

I would recommend this certainly to anyone who bakes but also for anyone who is intimidated by baking

I'd give 5* for the photography alone !!!

Despite the fact that I'm a cookbook addict, I had never paged through the original Tartine book. I feel completely stupid for never having a look. Baking has always intimidated me, but I think I'll be purchasing this book to help me get the hang of it and maybe make a few things to impress guests!

I discovered Tartine's famous sourdough bread a few years ago and this new release got me very excited about the new recipes that are in this updated version.

Beautifully illustrated and clearly explained, not all the recipes are easy - pastries in general, aren't! - but even the difficult ones remain tempting to try when time allows. I personally love the range of recipes available.

This book is very well written with clear and beatuful illustrations. The recipes are fairly easy to follow. Have tried one of the recipes and in fact was not as complicated as it appeared.

Tartine was provided free in exchange for my honest opinion. I highly recommend this book for anyone one that wants to try out some delicious recipes.

I give this a 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
